§ The POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Sir William Mitchell-Thomson)I am afraid I cannot add anything to the statement made by the Chancellor of the Exchequer on the 22nd November.
§ Sir H. BRITTAINCan my right hon. Friend suggest any better process to which to devote the surplus than this? It would produce an enormous increase in trade.
